To Kalon is renowned as one of the finest valley floor vineyard sites in Napa Valley. Rich blue fruit and graphite are showcased on the palate. Built to age gracefully for the next decade or more, the fine tannins enhance the powerful fruit at the core with a magical elegance and depth. Notes of mocha, anise and dark chocolate will shine through as the bottle begins to breathe. - Winery
I thought the Jenzen Cabernet Sauvignons showed brilliantly. The 2012 Janzen Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple color followed by notes of creosote, burning embers, wood spice, forest floor, blackberry and cassis. It is full-bodied with great intensity and a long, rich, concentrated finish. - Robert Parker 95 Points
Floral and soft, with a substantial foundation of leather and black licorice, this is a tremendously seductive wine, layered and complex, with years to go in terms of structure. Already it offers velvety tannins and dreams of blackberry patches gone by, finishing with succulence and a taste of pure dark chocolate. Cellar through 2022. - Wine Enthusiast Magazine 94 Points
Intense and vibrant, with a zesty mix of vivid wild berry, blackberry, crushed rock and licorice flavors, ending with a long, tapered finish. Shows some tannic grip on the aftertaste, and should only get better. Drink now through 2026. 347 cases made. –JL - Wine Spectator Magazine 91 Points
